The following reinforcement schedule and victory conditions correct errors and missing sections in the V&B "Battles of the American Civil War" Scenario Book. They have been supplied by Greg Novak.

Reinforcement Schedule Union:

On board at start:

III Corps:

• 1st Division (King)

On east edge, Manassas - Gainesville Road. Allow two turns in march column at night - may not reform from march column until daylight.

I Corps - Sigel:

• 1st Division (Schenck)
• 2nd Division (Steinwehr)
• 3rd Division (Schurz)

Arrives 7am:

• 2nd Division (Ricketts)

Arrives 10am:

V Corps - Porter

Reinforcement Schedule Confederate: 

As listed in the book except on west edge Warrenton Turnpike.

Victory Conditions:

The burden of the atack is on the Union Army. Pope must win a victory before McClellan returns and takes command away from him.

Union Victory: At the end of the 29th the Union side must have exhausted all three of Jackson's division, or a total of four of Lee's divisions (including any of Jackson's) to claim victory. If play continues to the 30th, the Union side must have exhausted a total of six of Lee's divisions (including any of Jackson's) to claim victory at the end of the day.

Confederate Victory: At the end of either the 29th or 30th the Confederate side must have exhausted at least seven of Pope's divisions to claim victory.

If both sides have carried out thier victory conditions, the side that has exhausted more divisions above the base number wins. Thus if the Confederates have exhausted eight Union divisions at the end of the 30th, and the Union have exhausted six Confederate divisions, victory would go to the Confederacy as they are one up on divisions exhausted.
